What to Know
Manchester United needs to shore up a defense that is allowing two goals per game before their matchup on Sunday. They and Everton are meeting up for their first leg of the season at 2 p.m. ET at Goodison Park. Everton will be strutting in after a win while the Red Devils will be stumbling in from a defeat.
The match between Man United and Manchester City on Sunday was not a total blowout, but with Man United falling 6-3 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.
Meanwhile, after constant struggles on the road, Everton has finally found some success away from home. They dodged a bullet on Saturday, finishing off Southampton 2-1. The score was all tied up at the break nothing to nothing, but Everton was the better team in the second half.
The Red Devils are now 4-3 while Everton sits at 2-2-4. Everton is 1-0 after wins this year, and Man United is 1-1 after losses.
Storylines
Everton: Dominic Calvert-Lewin could offer an attacking boost as he is back in training from his groin injury but Lampard’s defensive depth will be needed yet again. Yerry Mina and Mason Holgate are back in training but not ready to feature while Ben Godfrey, Andros Townsend and Nathan Patterson all have long term injuries that will sideline them until after the World Cup. The biggest lineup decision will be between Dwight McNeil and Anthony Gordon but as both players bring different qualities to the match, they’ll both end up featuring for Everton, especially if the Toffees need to chase a result.
Manchester United: Another match will see the battle for who wants to start at left back drag on. Tyrell Malacia was hooked at halftime in Europa League which could lead to Luke Shaw getting a start while the other battle for a starting spot is between Scott McTominay and Casemiro in midfield. Raphael Varane will be a late fitness test for the match while Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, and Donny van de Beek have already been ruled out of the ruled out of the match.
Prediction
It will be a tight one as Lampard has built a team that is hard to break down but Rashford will see United to victory. Pick: Everton 1, Manchester United 2
